LS-120 != IOMega Zip I'm sure you could stick a totally cut down version of FreeBSD on a SCSI Zip attached to a SCSI controller with a BIOS on it and boot it.

If someone wanted to write a driver, the hooks in the wd code already exist to do so, you just have to follow the example of the CDROM code. > As I upgraded from a laptop computer, I have no spare floppy drives lying > about, so basically I'm stuck now with Windows. ,-) Don't tell me they didn't give you a regular old 3.5" floppy disk drive?
